Traffic Light Investment Alerts Service

Published / Last Updated on 24/01/2019

Unique 'Traffic Light’ investment warnings on the Directors personal views of the markets and what we are doing with our own money, with the basic principle of "buy low, sell high".

Market Rises - get in before markets rise

Falls - lock in profits and get out before markets fall.

We will not get it right all of the time, if we did then we would be billionaires. We look at markets at crucial trigger points, assess the likelihood of rises or falls and contact you when we take action with our own investments.

Is a Traffic Light Investment Alert Financial Advice?

TRAFFIC LIGHT INVESTMENT ALERTS EXPLAINED:THIS IS NOT FORMAL FINANCIAL ADVICE. ALERTS ARE NOT TAILORED TO YOUR INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES, WE ARE NOT PERSONALLY ADVISING YOU TO SWITCH OR NOT.

TRAFFIC LIGHT ALERTS ARE TO INFORM YOU WHEN WE THINK MARKETS ARE HIGH OR LOW AND OFFER OUR TRIGGER POINTS AS TO WHEN WE ARE LOCKING IN PROFITS WHEN WE CONSIDER MARKETS ARE HIGH OR INVEST WHEN WE CONSIDER MARKETS ARE LOW.

IN SHORT, THEY ARE CLIENT WIDE WARNINGS FOR YOU TO CONSIDER YOURSELF WHETHER TO SWITCH FROM CASH TO EQUITIES OR EQUITIES TO CASH – WE WILL NOT OFFER FORMAL ADVICE ON CHOOSING FUNDS – WE WILL ONLY TAKE YOUR INSTRUCTION TO SWITCH IN OR OUT OF MARKETS.

Traffic Light Alerts are available to Silver, Gold and Platinum service clients only.

Example Alert: RED

XX/XX/20XX – FTSE opened this week at 7,258 and closed marginally up at 7,299. There has been little movement for many weeks now and it feels like markets, commentators and investors are ‘waiting for something to happen’. We call it the ‘phoney war’. Brexit, Trump, Euro collapse, Frexit? Grexit? Nothing has happened yet. As we said last week, we still think a correction is yet to come and we maintain that we buy in when markets are low. It is difficult for us all to decide whether to invest or not and we have little to add. We are still buying China, it fell this week, but are staying away from developed markets although larger fund managers appear to favour Europe and Japan (see sentiment indicator).

WARNING: NO ADVICE GIVEN OR DEEMED TO BE GIVEN: WE CANNOT ADVISE WHEN A GOOD TIME TO INVEST OR NOT IS – INVESTMENT ALERTS ARE ISSUED FOR INFORMATION ONLY ON OUR OWN PERSONAL VIEWS OF THE MARKETS. Please do not ask us for advice on what to do – if we knew exactly what will happen with the markets, we would be billionaires. This alert service is purely for information to let you know when we personally invest our own money in/out of markets
